Contending for the Truth of the Gospel in a Culture Where Evil Is Called Good - David Fiorazo

We’re losing the battle for truth today. Many Christians say we’re living in the end times when darkness seems to be prevailing and evil is being called good. What should concern us as true believers is not necessarily the massive cultural shift in opinions about truth and morality, but the fact these views are more common among professing Christians and religious Americans.

We have strayed far from the truth of God’s Word and from moral absolutes. Just 54% of evangelicals believe it’s wrong to identify as a different gender; 35% of Muslims and only 26% of Catholics think it’s wrong – indicating a changing worldview in America that is becoming more and more secular. The poll reveals an increasing percentage of Americans no longer believe in right and wrong!

This means a majority of Americans now reject the fact that a Creator gave them a specific gender that cannot be changed. Too many people would rather believe skeptics, doubters, mockers, and their tedious claims about why they choose not to believe the convincing proofs in the Bible.

As the culture becomes more corrupt and the world moves further and further away from the God of all creation, Christians are faced with a dilemma. Evil is called good and good is called evil, and even those in the church are being duped into thinking there are no moral absolutes and God’s Word is not inerrant. We also live in a time when people are becoming more hostile to our faith – and expressions of that faith - as they fall for the lies of the enemy and rebel against God.

Let's reason from Scripture and examine some evidence: Eye Witness Testimony to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, tens of thousands of archaeological finds supporting biblical accounts; secular historians confirm, science, and Bible Prophecy all offer overwhelming evidence proving the truth of Christianity.
